Walnut Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

These hunky Walnut Chocolate Chunk Brownies are ultra decadent, perfectly fudgy AND cakey, grain-free with banana flour, and just begging to be baked!

Walnut Chocolate Chunk Brownies (vegan + paleo)

I originally shared these brownies on Instagram a few months ago. But you guys loved them so much, and I’ve remade them so much, and they are SO. DAMN. GOOD. with ice cream. The thought they could one day get lost too many scrolls down my Instagram feed…heartbreaking.

So I decided they deserved their own blog post. And what better day than friday the 13th to make that dream a reality.

Reasons to love these Walnut Chocolate Chunk Brownies:

  • They are moist/fudgy but not mushy/squishy. The crumb is defined, just cake-like enough.
  • They are grain-free, made with green banana flour (which is highly underrated, it’s amazing stuff!)
  • One bowl
  • Those mix-ins. We got chopped walnuts and chocolate chunks (not chips). Or swap in your own favorites!
  • Ridiculously good with ice cream on top.

This is the green banana flour I use and recommend from Edward and Sons Let’s Do Organic line. Banana flour can be a little tricky to work with and I haven’t tested with any other brands, so the texture may turn out different if you do.

Description

These hunky Walnut Chocolate Chunk Brownies are ultra decadent, perfectly fudgy AND cakey, grain-free with banana flour, and just begging to be devoured!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (105g) coconut sugar
  • 3/4 cup (185g) almond butter
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 4 tbsp water)
  • 4 oz (110g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, melted
  • 3/4 cup (180g) almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup (80g) Green Banana Flour*
  • 1/4 cup (20g) cacao powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup (55g) chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Whisk together the coconut sugar, almond butter, prepared flax eggs, melted chocolate, almond milk, and vanilla (everything should be at room temperature or warmer, otherwise the chocolate will seize up and make it hard to mix).
  3. Add the green banana flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine, don’t over mix.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chunks and walnuts.
  5. Transfer to a 9×9” baking pan (coated with nonstick spray).
  6. Bake for 25 minutes at 350ºF.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing (they will be very fragile and crumbly when hot).
  8. Enjoy, or refrigerate overnight—I like them even better cold!

Notes

*I recommend the Let’s Do Organic brand, different brands may yield a different texture.

    These look incredible! I coulf probably eat the whole tray. If for example I am not gluten intollerent or paleo and I would like to use normal flour to bake these, do you think its possible? Should I use more or less flour do you think? (I also live on a small Vietnamese island and I know it will be impossible to find green banana flour) thank you so much for your help xxx

      Regular flour will work here too! I’d try the same amount, should be just fine 🙂 Let me know how they turn out!

    Yum yum yum!! These look amazing and I can never have enough chocolate so need to make these asap. I’ll probably have to experiment with a different flour tho, since I can’t find green banana flour here. I feel like chickpea flour would be similar. Thanks for the recipe!

      Right there with you on the chocolate! Hm I’ve actually never used chickpea flour so hard to say but I feel like it could work! Or an all purpose blend could even work here, banana flour is similar-ish to AP in amount usually 🙂

    These were super yummy!! I have to admit, I was a little scared when I smelled the green banana flour but they are delicious. Personally, I think I will stick with my black bean brownies because I like fudgy brownies. But if you love cakey brownies this is the recipe for you!!

      Haha yes banana flour unbaked has quite an odd aroma (and flavor), but after baking I really love the taste😋 Good to know on the fudgy vs cakey! I definitely prefer my brownies more cake like😋 Thank you for the feedback, Alexandria!

    Hey Nat,

    Once again a great Brownie recipe!

    The Banana flour is not often used and I can order it from iHerb like for Chocolate Chunks from Enjoy Life (the Mega ones?)

    #PAN

    You use a 9×9 square but I only have a classic 9inch Springform pan or a 8×8 square..

    Would it be ok or baking time change with an 8×8?

    #FOOD PROCESSOR

    Can I use my food processor to make the batter or hand mix as you say to not over mix?
    .
    Thanks

    Henri 😉

      I’d use the 8×8″, baking time will be 25-30 mins!

        Hey Nat ok for the 8×8 Square Pan and baking time!

        For the Banana Flour can I substitute with something else if it is hard to get?

        Maybe Almond Flour or Coconut Flour?

        Many thanks!

        Henri

          I haven’t tested with any other flours, an all purpose or all-purpose blend would likely work but I do not think almond or coconut alone would.

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

-1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
-2 tbsp (50g) coconut oil

Blend the filling ingredients until very smooth and creamy. Pour on top of the crust. Combine berries, coconut sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently until it begins to thicken and become syrupy. Smash with a fork until the berries are mostly broken down.  Spoon on top of the cheesecake mixture and use the back of a spoon to swirl. Freeze overnight. Slice into bars and enjoy. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
